The Apple Blog's Nick Santilli delves deep into making effective use of metadata in OS X.

As Gina mentioned earlier today Nick wrote up a piece on using metadata as a filing system last year at Lifehacker, and this post is the first in a detailed follow-up to that one. Nick covers his tagging system in detail, and offers a few Spotlight tricks for making your tags more useful. If you liked his previous post here on Lifehacker, but you want a bit more detail on how to get more from your metadata, this is a series you may want to keep an eye on. Window users should check out how they can do the same in Vista.
